WTH is up with ESPN dropping the ball on the television feeds. We missed out on TWO freakin' goals!

Spain: they dribble too much! Why can't they just make crisp passes or take the shots when they have the opportunity! It was frustrating watching them against Italy.

Russia: incredible run, getting hot just at the right time. I hope the yellow cards from the last match won't hurt them too much tomorrow.

Germany: almost choked today. Great fundamentals but no fire in their belly, IMO.

Turkey: I gained a lot of respect for their game in this tournament. I thought they were going to pull it off today, again!

I think it's going to be the winner of the Spain/Russia match taking the tournament.

ps
4-1

Suck it Russia

Wasn't ESPN's fault man. Lightning storms in Switzerland fucked up the feed for everyone internationally. People in England and Canada had the same problems

Russia have so much skill in attack and will be very confident after crushing the Dutch. Spain haven't overly impressed me and they are notorious for bottling it in international competitions.

That being said, come on Spain!

Congrats to the Turks. They provided the best moments of the tournament. What a show of skill, passion, pride, determination and grit. It's a shame that they had so many injuries/suspensions or else they probably would've done in the Germans today. The keeper, Volkan, really let his country down by being sent off earlier in the tournament. He could have made the difference today, as Rustu was at fault for the second German goal. Nihat, Tuncay, and Arda were massively impressive. Three class footballers.

spain dominated the italians, but still could not score on their defense. Im thinking russia will take that, and go on to win it all!

That was a different Spain This Spain is undefeated in, what, 13 matches? They have a new found confidence, and I'm sure the fact that they haven't won the Euro in 64 years is drive enough to take the silver home

Also, Torres + Villa = deadly strike team.

That wasn't just Russia though. That would include Kazakhstan, Belarus, Latvia, and a host of like 30 other countries. So that doesn't count.

Ah, that didn't occur to me. Sucks to be Russia I guess

Arshavin's a huge talent, but I was surprised to find out that he's 27 years old. This season we saw what he can do at club level with Zenit, but why haven't we heard of him till now? Well he'll surely be off to one of the big clubs next season. He professed his love of Barcelona just the other day.

You mean they won it in 1964. Maybe 44 years isn't enough to drive them on

Being a Liverpool supporter I've obviously been supporting them and I really hope that they can do it tomorrow.

As Spain is really a bunch of countries within a country, I wonder how much the Spaniards are actually behind the national team? Maybe the only ones who can be arsed are the Madrile�os? I certainly can't imagine an hardcore Barca supporter giving a damn. A lot like how most Liverpool supporters can't be arsed about England. Carra is a legend for telling McClaren to piss off, and there is a bit of resentment toward Stevie G and Michael Owen for their perceived prioritizing of the national team ahead of Liverpool.

It has been mentioned MANY times by the commentators, that one of Russia's biggest problems was that they had no confidence in their own national team. They didn't take failure very well, and therefore, played cautiously. They got beat by Spain easy, but for whatever reason, they stepped it up enormously after that game. As you have seen they have shown marked improvement that has resulted in a lot of learning what they are capable of. I think the more they play together, the better this will get. I am looking forward to a good game tomorrow.
